説明

<jats:p>Measurements of lengths, diameters, and numbers of post-capillary vessels were made in the bat's wing. The cross-sectional area and capacity in the various portions of the vascular bed were calculated.</jats:p> <jats:p>The greatest total cross-sectional area in the entire vascular bed was found in the venules, a result not in agreement with similar reports made by others using measurements from vessels in fixed preparations. This discrepancy probably results from disagreement regarding the diameter of capillary vessels.</jats:p> <jats:p>Calculations to determine the per cent of total volume in each portion of the vascular bed showed that the venous system accounts for as much as 80% of the total vascular volume.</jats:p>
